Chihiro Hashimoto
Japanese professional wrestler

Chihiro Hashimoto (橋本 千紘, Hashimoto Chihiro; born July 1, 1992) is a Japanese professional wrestler currently signed to Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling, where she is the current Sendai Girls World Champion in her sixth reign. Hashimoto was trained in the Sendai Girls' dojo under Meiko Satomura, and made her debut in October 2015. Since her debut, Hashimoto has gone on to hold the Sendai Girls World Championship five times, and was named the 2016 Rookie of the Year by Tokyo Sports, making her only the second female to win the award.
01Early life
Hashimoto initially took part in and passed a Sendai Girls tryout when she was 15 and still in junior high school, however, she was deemed too young and advised by president Jinsei Shinzaki to take part in either amateur wrestling or judo until she had at least finished high school. Hashimoto began competing in amateur wrestling immediately, and continued to do so in high school. She attended the Abe Gakuin High School in Tokyo, and won the Asian Junior Championship in her weight class when she was 18. That same year, she entered the All Japan Wrestling championships, placing third in her weight class. Hashimoto continued to pursue amateur wrestling into college, attending Nihon University where she placed third in the World Student Championship at the age of 20. She had hopes of competing in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, but was unsuccessful in qualifying. She graduated from University in 2015, and after watching a match involving Meiko Satomura, decided to begin training as a wrestler once again. On June 11, she once again took and passed a tryout, and subsequently enrolled in the Sendai Girls dojo.
